Proverbs 25:23-28

23 [As] the north wind brings rain, so a whispering tongue brings angry looks.
24 Better to live on a corner of a roof than to share a home with a quarreling woman.
25 [Like] cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from far away.
26 [Like] a muddied spring and a polluted well, [so] is a righteous person who gives in to a wicked person.
27 Eating too much honey is not good, and searching for honor is not honorable.
28 [Like] a city broken into [and] left without a wall, [so] is a person who lacks self-control.
